Cupertino, September 17 — Tripsy, the indie travel planning app built for Apple platforms, got a significant upgrade this week. Version 3.10 adds support for iOS 27 features and introduces two AI-powered tools, according to a report from 9to5Mac published September 16 by Marcus Mendes. The headline addition is Smart Import.
Think of it like a universal translator for your trip research — it takes the messy pile of links, PDFs, saved emails, screenshots, accessible Instagram and TikTok posts, and pasted text you’ve accumulated and converts them into structured places and reservations inside the app. It also handles imports from Google Maps and Apple Maps lists and guides.
Rather than dumping everything into your itinerary automatically, Smart Import shows you suggested items and lets you decide which ones actually make the cut.
On-device AI, explained
The second major feature is Smart Insights, which uses Apple’s Foundation Models to analyze attached documents and emails directly on your device. Here’s what it means in plain terms: your baggage allowances, breakfast details, parking information, cancellation policies, and costs get surfaced without your data ever leaving your phone. The processing happens locally rather than in the cloud, which is why it’s framed as on-device AI.
Both features sit behind a Pro subscription. That runs thirty-nine dollars per year, or a one-time lifetime access payment of one hundred ninety-nine dollars.
The update also adds support for iOS 27’s extra-large widget, part of a broader set of improvements in version 3.10.
Apple’s spotlight on a small developer
Tripsy’s moment arrives alongside Apple’s iOS 27 launch. During Apple’s “Surprise and Shine” event, the company briefly mentioned Tripsy while showcasing iOS 27’s new Siri AI features. Apple followed up with an iOS 27 press release earlier this week, highlighting that Siri will soon be able to add restaurant recommendations directly to Tripsy.
For an AI-focused readership, the practical upshot is this: a small indie developer is integrating Apple’s on-device Foundation Models into a consumer travel app, and Apple itself is publicly pointing to the Siri-to-app handoff as a showcase feature. The pricing structure means those AI capabilities aren’t free to all users — they require a Pro subscription.
What to watch next: whether Apple expands the Siri-to-Tripsy handoff beyond restaurant recommendations, and whether other indie developers follow Tripsy’s lead in building on Foundation Models.
